Fade to black

I think a friend-o of mine is seriously going to commit suicide. I can not let this happen... but I don't know what to do. She lives too far away where, if she took drastic action, I wouldn't get there in time

has she told you that she is going to?
then you can contact the police, but I suspect she hasn't told you because people who are serious don't often tell someone. Has she all of a sudden gotten calm and serene? started tying up loose ends and sounds like she is wrapping up loose ends?

other than that. you can let them know you care and you want to help them through whatever seems so hard right now.

Call 1-800-SUICIDE. They will know more than we do

That's just it- she hasn't admitted it to me yet. She just has all the massive signs, especially in things she says (between the lines). I don't know what loose ends she's taken care of, but she acts like she doesn't care anymore. I just have this really bad feeling- like it's coming.

that does sound like a bad sign. can you call her? ask her outright..
better yet, call that number and ask their advice

She wouldn't admit that to me. I'll phone the hotline first. I don't want to say or do the wrong thing.

That is the best idea
